A track day at the circuit of your choice with good instruction
In the time you have the high apline passes will still have snow, so go for the Norschleife or low apline passes, black forest or south of france, route Napolean.
Finally Le Mans, although out of timescales I sure you could stretch it. All roads lead to Le Mans in a TVR.

I'm having to do the same and get rid of the TVR. My son is 21 months old now and I tried to make it work. The problem is limited free time, when I get time off do I spend it in the TVR or with my son? You guessed it, my son wins.
The only problem is I can't bring myself to writing the advert for the TVR, so although I made the decision in mid december I have not done anything about it yet.
God, life is cruel, why can't I be a billionaire with loads of free time.

Seems like theres a few of us in this position! My Tuscan is also up for sale as baby due in June & can no longer justify 'fun' car that is hardly used (especially with house move coming up)
I have been thinking about what I can do before he goes to but wrong time of year for spirited driving.
If mine doesn't sell he goes back on 2nd May as that is when final balloon payment would be due so I have a deadline to work to (Unless shares make a comeback by then in which case he'll be staying but don't tell her
)

I`ve bought my Tiv a good few years (hopefully) before I get married, told the girlfriend that the car is my investment and cannot be sold for any reason except extreme financial hardship (and I mean extreme!)
Hoefully when junor arrives she will have her family car, I will have my family car and the Tiv will be there for the odd fun days to work or to wake up the neighbours.

Sorry to hear that you're considering selling the lovely Taimar, Colin.The only problem is I can't bring myself to writing the advert for the TVR, so although I made the decision in mid december I have not done anything about it yet.

My policy with car ownership has always been to sell the cars that were ordinary and keep the ones that were great. Thats why I now have too many cars dotted around the place, all awaiting restoration!
The good news is that some 30 years since acquiring my first 'classic' and some 18 years since the birth of my son, I'm now actually managing to enjoy restoring my modest collection, assisted by my enthusiastic son!
The Taimar is a keeper... and your son will love it in 3 or 4 years time. Think of the adventures!
I sold the Chim when wifey got pregnant with our first.... and bought a Cerb..... 
Trouble is I agree with some of the other posts - time got tight, sleep was lacking, and I simply wasn't enjoying it. So I sold that and got a "sensible" car - an E39 M5 (well it was still a 400bhp V8 it just had room for baby seats and prams!). Thing is, after 8 months of that I was bored witless, so I sold the M5, and got a motorway hack and another Chim!
What did I learn? I was truly bitten by the TVR bug, and no uber-saloon was going to come close to the thrills.
Bin the bike.
